Good Morning,
The entire quote reads as follows: "Cultivate optimism by committing yourself to a cause, a plan or a value system. You'll feel that you are growing in a meaningful direction which will help you rise above day-to-day setbacks."
The Oxford Languages Dictionary defines optimism as "hopefulness and confidence about the future or the successful outcome of something."
What makes you feel optimistic? We all need a reason for living, a reason to get up in the morning, a reason to say "Thank You Lord For The Day You Have Given Me." Hope converted to optimism makes the world go round. It moves us onward to a better future.
There will be setbacks. They are just bumps in the road. Some are just bigger bumps than others. Onward and upward.
Have a great week,
Jim
